Re: Ford New Holland 8340 SLE help thread

Our 8340 is generally very light on the shuttle lever but occasionally the shift will baulk and moving back to neutral or opposite direction makes it easy. I never force the lever. On the other hand the Hi Lo lever is a pig and I have found the middle leaver is best in neutral.
If the synchronisers were completely worn I assume you would get a crunch? I wonder if the cable its self is stiff. I have had other machines with bowden type cables that seem to wear and increase friction.

Is it a complete strip down of the box to sort it ?

Did you figure out what was wrong. My 7840 has the same problem. Thanks
